A-520 Discover Shibori - 1 Day Workshop

1 Saturday 10:30 am - 2:30 pm, Room 103, Instructor: Kathy Krisher
On 3/6
Shibori is the traditional Japanese art of tying, folding, or pleating fabric, then dying it to produce a unique color and texture on the fabric. Shibori offers a surprising array of binding methods for a “resist”. We will explore some of these techniques, including wrapping, stitching, clamping, binding, folding, twisting and turning the fabric around a resist. Throughout the day, students will have the opportunity to produce a series of experimental samples exploring a variety of ways to manipulate the fabric, dye it, and heat-set it. Students will then have the opportunity to create a silk scarf using the technique of their choice.
Materials: $20, payable to the instructor on the day of class. Members: $25, Non-Members: $40.
